Molecular analysis of type 3 fimbrial genes from Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Citrobacter species

24 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection in the United States and is caused by a range of uropathogens. Biofilm formation by uropathogens that cause CAUTI is often mediated by cell surface structures such as fimbriae. In this study, we characterised the genes encoding type 3 fimbriae from CAUTI strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,...
